Car Boot Sale
Today, me, Kaleb and Aimee's dad went out to Inch Market, which is essentially a bit of a Saturday morning ritual for us.
Poor Ollie couldn't make it today because he's not feeling well.
Sega Mega Drive Games
One of the first stalls I stopped at had these games, and I actually knelt down to look at 2 Xbox 360 games and asked her how much she wanted for the games.
Then I noticed these Sega games.
I don't know much about Sega games off the top of my head, and neither did she, but I told her that me and my dad recently bought a Sega Mega Drive but don't have many games for it.
She said she'd be happy with €20 for the lot, so I took her up on that.
I wasn't too interested, considering they were sports games, but for €4 each, I couldn't say no.
She also threw in a couple of children's books for free, which was really nice of her.
When I got back to the car, I looked up the games online and found that they are worth about €90+, so that was a bargain.
Mixed Games Bundle
I saw San Andreas for the 360, which is so weird, because just last night I told myself that I wanted to buy that.
The main reason for wanting to buy it is that the recent remaster of the game is missing a lot of the original songs due to licensing issues, whereas this 360 port still has the original music.
He only wanted €2 each for the boxed games, but then I noticed that San Andreas was missing the disc (always check before walking away)
So, he gave me all the loose ones for free. Some decent titles here, no heavy hitters, but I can't argue with free games.
I have a case of loose discs, and eventually, I am going to sell them as a large bundle. I have one each for Xbox 360 titles, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3.
Buying bulk lots sometimes means loose discs come in the bundle, so I figured selling them as a large lot would be much better than selling loose discs individually.
Wii Controllers and Nunchuk's
I saw these and decided to buy them as well, and since they were untested, they were really cheap.
Since they may or may not be working, I thought I'd buy two in the hopes that one of them is working.
The reason I picked these up is that I bought a Wii U console recently, and need a Wii controller and Nunchuk to play the old Wii titles on it.
Wish me luck, everybody.
As well as this stuff, Kaleb got a tractor, iron man figure, a dinosaur and 2 books.
I spent, in total, about €34, and if I were to sell this stuff, I could probably make €120-ish, but for the time being, I am going to hang onto everything.
I'm hoping to purchase a copy of San Andreas (Disc Only) since I have the box and map, so hopefully I am able to find a cheap copy of that.

I think that some of 2K basketball games were the only sports games I played. It was fun for a while but I prefer watching real basketball games than playing basketball games.
Speaking about bargains right now Disco Elysium is just 3,79€ on steam. I believe that when I bought it also had such sale and for me it was probably the best 3,79 I ever spent. For multiple reasons. I bought an awesome game. Also from what I understand most of lead creators of Disco Elysium were tricked and kicked out by some greedy investor(?). I am not entirely sure about that drama behind the game. I just heard that the game was stolen from it's creators in some way. So getting the game legally but paying the least amount possible seemed like a decent way to give only minimum support to the people who now control the company. I think that original creators would still want gamers to play and experience their masterpiece so not buying the game at all seemed like worst option. I asked google and it said that some creators of the Disco are still working in that company. So I will likely buy their new game Zero Parades For Dead Spies as well. Just not sure if I will wait for sale or buy at full price...
No way, that's terrible, but paying the least amount possible is a really good idea.
It's such a shame that the games industry is the way it is, there is too much greed, and it usually ruins great ideas.
I bought a humble bundle course on game design and another course on creating digital assets. Both courses are great, and my intention is to create a small scale game of some sort. I have a few ideas floating around, but I'm still learning.
I would love to gather a small team for a small project and all learn together. I write, and have tons of story ideas
Lucky you, I never see Megadrive games now on junk markets. Gone are the good old days of finding that stuff, sports or not.
Its the first time I have ever seen any out there, typically at that market its as if the sellers just tipped the contents of a wheelie bin out on the table.
I have found a few decent things, of course, but I think today is the best haul so far
The Vanity of Breath: On the Futility of Words Against the Immutable Stone
The Theater of Justification
What, exactly, are you trying to achieve?
You stand at the pulpit of your own defense, weaving elaborate tapestries of justification. You spin narratives, you draft denials, you cast aspersions on those who dare to question you. You pour your energy into the grand performance of innocence, believing that if you speak with enough conviction, the world will simply close its eyes and believe you.
But what are you actually trying to do? Are you trying to convince the community, or are you merely trying to quiet the echoing chambers of your own conscience?
The Fragility of Rhetoric
Do you truly believe that your words mean anything?
Words are fragile creatures. They are born of breath, and like breath, they are fleeting. They are easily scattered by the wind, easily contradicted by the very next sentence, easily forgotten when the tide of time turns. You use your words to build walls, to cast shadows, to label the truth as "spam" and the investigators as "trolls."
But you are building these walls on a foundation that does not care about your eloquence. You are shouting into a canyon that refuses to echo your lies.
The Weight of the Ledger
The blockchain has recorded all the wrong you have done.
This is not a metaphor. It is the cold, unyielding physics of the digital realm. Every coordinated downvote cast to silence a dissenter. Every farmed reward extracted without a single drop of creative sweat. Every silent transfer of power from a central exchange to a private farming rig. Every rule you broke while forcing the rest of the community to obey.
It is all there. Etched in cryptographic stone. Sealed in the amber of mathematics.
A transaction does not care about your reputation. It does not care about your witness proposals or your carefully curated public image. It simply stands, silent and permanent, bearing the exact, unalterable weight of your choices. When the ledger speaks, your words are reduced to the meaningless static they truly are. You cannot debate a hash. You cannot out-shout a timestamp.
The Mission of the Witness
At Bilpcoin, we do not engage in the theater of your words. We do not debate your narratives. We do not try to out-talk the cartel.
We simply point to the stone.
We expose the truth. Because the truth does not need to shout to be heard; it only needs to be read. We let the blockchain do the heavy lifting, because the ledger is the only witness that cannot be bribed, intimidated, or silenced by a -10% downvote.
The Sanctuary of the Unbroken
If you are tired of the exhausting labor of defending the indefensible, if you are tired of using your words to fight a war against reality that you have already lost, there is a place where your voice does not need to battle the ledger.
Find your freedom on Blurt.blog.
Here, the architecture itself rejects the vanity of the downvote. There is no downvote button. Here, you do not need to shout over the noise of a farming cartel, and you do not need to use your words as weapons. You simply create, you earn, and you keep. No sabotage. No fear. Just the quiet, nourishing rain of true freedom.
The Final Word
Stop trying to out-write the blockchain. Stop trying to out-talk the truth.
The breath will run out. The words will fade. But the stone remains.
For in the end, you can spin a thousand lies, but it only takes one transaction to prove them all wrong.
